 Parker Gas, based in Clinton, has partnered with the American Breast Cancer Foundation (ABCF) as part of bringing the nationwide “Fuel for Hope” campaign to eastern North Carolina. The campaign aims to raise awareness of the need for early detection of breast cancer through a network of propane companies across the country who customize a pink truck for deliveries within local communities.
Daren Parker, co-owner of Parker Gas Co., heard about the campaign and jumped at the opportunity. He had seen the pink trucks and wanted to get involved.
As part of the campaign, for every gallon of fuel delivered by the truck, Parker will donate one cent to the ABCF. The money will support the Key to Life Breast Cancer Assistance Program, which provides women and men in need with mammograms, biopsies and support services for the detection and treatment of breast cancer. Approximately 8,000 women and men receive services through the Key to Life program each year.
Family-owned and operated since 1958, Parker Gas has four locations to supply propane to residential, commercial and agricultural customers throughout Sampson, Duplin, Bladen and Cumberland counties. Parker’s pink truck hit the road delivering throughout the area at the end of January.
We at COOPER Kenworth are proud to display our customer, Parker Gas Co. and help spread the "Fuel for Hope" campaign.
